Lily Allen SLAMMED as 'tasteless and crass' after parodying the nativity scene on stage and writhing around in a manger

There's no denying that she's a fan of causing controversy, so as Lily Allen played a festive gig at London's O2 Academy Brixton she made sure to give all those in attendance something to talk about as she arrived on stage in manger.

Recreating the nativity, the 29-year-old singer lay in a hay covered hammock as she belted tracks from her latest album, Sheezus.

And it wasn't long before she found herself in hot water, with Stephen Green from the Christian Voice campaign group hitting out at her performance, telling the Sunday Express: 'It is tasteless, it is disrespectful and it is crass.'
